I love the fact that Linux shell scripts aren't portable to
UNIX machines because their /bin/sh based scripts end up with
bash-isms and Linux-isms out the wazoo.

Apparently they never read the 1978 bell labs technical journal
article on how you build commands out of lesser commands, rather
than jamming all the functionality into every command.

On the other hand, I've often found it annoying that the 'ls'
command doesn't display 'ps' information, like it does on Linux...
not.
